Bruno Romero

Bruno Romero (died 17 April 1961) was a Cuban man who was hired as a body double for Fidel Castro during the aftermath of the Cuban Revolution. Romero took Castro's place at the Santa Maria plantation during the Bay of Pigs invasion in 1961, holding Castro's mistress Frida Mariano as a human shield to deter the CIA from killing him. However, he was shot in the head by CIA agent Alex Mason in the bedroom of the plantation, fooling the CIA into believing that they had killed Castro.
